Ingredients
- 5 g sugar
- 120 ml warm water
- 7 g active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
- 300 -350 g all-purpose flour (2 1/4-2 1/3 cups)
- 120 g plain yogurt
- 5 g salt
- 15 ml oil
- 4 tablespoons salted butter (melted )
- 4 cloves garlic (finely minced)
- some oil (for greasing the skillet)
- 113 g cheddar cheese (shredded )
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro (optional)
Steps
-
In a small bowl, combine the sugar, warm water, and yeast. Stir well and let sit until foamy, about 10 minutes. Transfer the flour to a flat surface and make a well in the center.
-
Add the yeast mixture, yogurt, salt, and oil, and knead the dough until smooth and shiny, about 10 minutes. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place (beside the stovetop or in a warm oven) until it doubles in size, about 1 hour.
-
Mix the melted butter (warmed in the microwave briefly) with the garlic and set aside.
-
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each into a 6-inch (15 cm) circle using a rolling pin.
-
Heat a skillet (cast iron preferred) over high heat and lightly grease with oil. Place a dough circle in the skillet. When it puffs up and bubbles appear with some browned spots, flip to cook the other side. Lower the heat, brush the cooked naan generously with garlic butter, top with cheese, and cover the skillet for 1 minute, or until the cheese melts. Repeat with the remaining dough.
-
Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve immediately.
